The more I stare at this, the more I like it. Sometimes, it takes me a few days to really appreciate what I’ve painted. I know the difference between what I had in mind and what my hand decided to do. This was inspired by a monthly lesson I do with Nancy Medina of white lilies.

This is a 16×20 oil painting of souls rejoicing or maybe angels dancing on a cloud. I was inspired by a book that was given to me by a friend. I painted this years ago and for some reason, though I’ve gotten rid of oil paintings, I can’t part with this one. I think it is an emotional attachment. It was the first painting I was brave enough to do on canvas way back when. I like it so it hangs in my great room by the fireplace.

This is a 16 X 20 oil painting of sunflowers in the desert I titled “Watching”. These three flowers are watching the sun as all good sunflowers do. Depending on the wall it is hung on, east or west, they can watch the sun come up or set.

Colorful 14×18 oil painting of peacock feathers in a beta fish bowl. Peacocks represent eternal life. A peacock drinking from a vase of water is said to be drinking the waters of eternal life. The fish is filled with symbolism of eternal life as well. This fish happens to have the Greek name, Beta which goes off on another trail that might cause the observer to think about the meaning of the Greek word for fish, ichthus.
